This case study has demonstrated a couple of important points. First, the simple techniques described in the previous sections are useful for real world application and are adequate for a wide range of quick measurements. What some of the tests lack in precision and documentation, they make up in accessibility and ease of implementation. Adding more instrumentation and complexity to the test changes the basic technique very little and merely enhances the data collection process with automatic and sometimes more precise data. Second, the case study demonstrated the criticality of fully understanding the workings of the system under test. Without a thorough knowledge of the theoretical resolution limits of the radar under test, it may have been necessary to test the resolution out to the display limits of the radar, wasting flight time and thus money.
